Is Technip Energies (ENXTPA:TE) A Bargain After Its HPCL Contract Win?
Technip Energies (ENXTPA:TE) has secured a large Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract from Hindustan Petroleum Corporation for the Lube Modernization and Bottom Upgradation project at HPCL’s Mumbai Refinery in India.
The HPCL win lands at a time when Technip Energies’ share price has gained 6.3% over the past week and 6.5% over the past month, yet is still down 8% over 90 days and 5.1% year to date, while the 1 year total shareholder return has declined 14.1% but remains strongly positive over 3 and 5 years. This suggests that shorter term momentum is rebuilding after a weaker spell and that sentiment is still being shaped by longer running gains.

Most Popular Narrative: 21% Undervalued
Against a last close of €30.98, the most followed narrative puts Technip Energies’ fair value at €39.44. This frames today’s price as a discount that depends on how its backlog, margins and cash are converted into future earnings under a 7.54% discount rate.
Very strong recent order intake of €12.7b in the first half of 2026 and a record €25b backlog, around three times full year revenue, point to Technip Energies still having a large volume of LNG and energy infrastructure projects to execute. This can feed revenue and earnings over multiple years once converted.
